I'm back on track!!!

Well, I rejoined Weight Watchers last week. Online just wasn't cutting it anymore. I had last 3 pounds since my last WW meeting in May. I guess I wasn't very successful on my own- LOL! At this week's weigh in, I lost 3 pounds! How much a difference a couple of meetings can make!

I'm still training for the half-marathon. The farthest I've gone is 6.3 miles (over half of a half!!) Tomorrow I'm going to do 8 miles and actually looking forward to it! I was unable to run/walk last week because the girls were on fall break plus my mom & grandma were visiting. I actually missed it so much!!! I learned something by not walking those 2 days... I need to walk: physically, emotionally, & spiritually. The exercise it great but the rejuvenation I feel afterward is so much better. Being with the girls all week long, I was emotionally drained. Saturday I walked for an hour plus spent the evening with just Kevin. On Sunday, I felt like I was starting over new!!

It has been a little daunting though because my MP3 (read: Kevin's old one) died so I've been having to use his Zune. I'm not a fan of the touch ones... I never can get them to work right. I've got to get me a new one!!! Especially so I can download my daily devotionals. I love doing one or two when I start walking. I always, always, ALWAYS have to walk to my church's Praise Team CD. It is so motivating to start walking to "I walk by Faith!"

Wish me luck... tomorrow I am walk/running 8 miles- my most ever!!!
